Did Garrett get too cute with play calls?

IRVING – The Cowboys’ offensive line was dominating and Tashard Choice was running hard.

So why didn’t Jason Garrett line up two tight ends and FB Deon Anderson and just give the ball to Tashard Choice up the gut after Dallas reached the Carolina 1-yard line early in the fourth quarter?

Instead of playing smash-mouth football, Garrett got cute and called for two back-shoulder fade routes. Both passes – the first to Roy Williams, the second to Martellus Bennett – misfired and the Cowboys were forced to settle for a field goal for a 13-7 lead with 12:02 left.

So what do you think? Would you have given the ball to Choice two more times? Myself, I didn’t mind the fade to Williams, who had the ball in his hands but couldn’t come down with the catch. On third down, though, I’m handing off to Choice with Anderson leading the way.
